Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
Less than 1 in 1000 prescriptions of COREG will invite wheals and itchy lesion on skin. But definitely it can be related. Even LASIX can cause this (at a frequency higher than COREG) if you are taking both drugs together. You must consult your physician to determine the exact cause and get treatment for same.
